Politics in Exile
Does exile nurture democrats? How do people shape democracy in exile? These are questions that preoccupied Thomas Mann from the moment he was forced to leave Germany. Kai Sina shows how exile transformed Mann into a political orator against the National Socialists. Nathan Law, one of the leading figures of the democracy movement in Hong Kong, and Ryyan Alshebl, who fled Syria in 2015, speak about what political engagement means today while at a far distance from home.
With Ryyan Alshebl (remotely), Nathan Law, Kai Sina
